Edward "Ted" Forrester

He stared at me, blue eyes suddenly gone cold. His whole face became different. There was nothing there, no expression, except that awful coldness. Emptiness. I'd had a leopard look at me like that once, through the cage bars, no emotion I understood, thoughts so alien it might as well have inhabited a different planet.
Something that could kill me skillfully, efficiently,
because that was what it was meant to do, if it was hungry, or if I annoyed it.

(Guilty Pleasures, page 230, paragraph 1)

* He often supplies Anita with more modern weaponry and considers her his "pupil".

* One of his fantasies is to go up against Anita one on one to see who is better, but his only hesitation comes from the fact that it would be a one time deal and he does not wish to kill her per se.

* Twice he has come to Anita seeking the name of the Master of the City. The first time, it was for Nikolaos, and together they killed her. The second time was for Jean-Claude, but she did not give him that name. She made him think Alejandro was the Master of the City.

* In CD, Edward gives Anita a business card with a number on it if she ever needs to contact him. A sign of the growing trust between them.

* In LuC, Edward is hired to find two lycanthropes: Alfred and Gabriel. Both were involved in a pornographic snuff film and Edward was hired by the father of the daughter who was killed.

* Edward drives a green Mazda.

* Anita has pointed out to him that he likes to keep secrets for the hell of it. Its at this point that he realizes Anita knows him very well and just might give him a run for his money if they ever came up against each other.

* Edward uses his alias, Ted Forrester,  officially in LuC when questioned by the police over the deaths of Aikensen, Titus, Carmicheal, and Fienstein. 

* Edward was offered a contract on Anita's life, but he decided not to take it because hunting down the thing that was after her would have been much more satisfying to him.

* To help Anita, Edward employs the use of Harley, but Anita kills him because he is about to kill her. So Anita must owe Edward a favor, to be recalled on a later date.

* When Edward calls in the favor, he has Anita meet him in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he introduces Anita to Ted's fiance, Donna Parnell. He had been dating her for about two years and had been her lover when he realized she expected Ted to propse, so Ted proposed to her.

* Donna's friend Brenda is convinced that Edward has an old soul. Anita is convinced some folks can have old-seeming souls by doing alot of stuff in this lifetime.

* Anita has known Edward for five years and only in Santa Fe does he reveal more about himself  than he did in those five years.

* Ted has lived in Santa Fe for at least four years, and two of those years have been in a relationship with Donna.

* Edward admits that neither Olaf nor Bernardo are good enough to kill him if things go wrong, but Anita is.

* Edward's house is adobe and looks either old or genuine, with the door painted a vibrant blue/turquoise color because witches cannot cross over a blue or green door, according to legend.

* Edward believes he is Anita's soul mate, but not her lover because they would be too much alike.

* Edward does not like to eat veal.

* He has known Bernardo for six years.

* Edward apologizes to Anita for the first time when she berates him for putting her to the test to see who has the stronger nerve.

* Donna has taken Edward to two couple baby showers already.

* Edward has never cut any slack with anyone, but he does so for Donna, which makes Anita think that it /has/ to be some kind of chemistry between them.

* Edward is known as the Undertaker and has been specially trained by Van Cleef. He has the highest body count of anyone that Van Cleef has trained.

* One of the stipulations of leaving Van Cleef had been utmost secrecy and when Anita sees the sadness in his eyes at revealing this, she knows that he wasn't born the way he was, but had been made like a monster.

* Edward is seeing a therapist with Donna, Becca and Peter. He honestly loves them all as Ted, despite being Edward.

* He is one of the few people who would leave Anita with a gun, but in NiC, he is out of state and could not have left it for her.
